Criminals broke into a staff restaurant at a north London hospital tackling the coronavirus crisis.
The suspects targeted a cash machine at Barnet Hospital at around 2am, police said.
Royal Free London said the facility remained open and tweeted: "Our staff restaurant at Barnet Hospital is open despite someone breaking in last night to steal the ATM. We have no words! Police are aware."
A subsequent post from Barnet MPS said: "We were called at around 2am to a restaurant area broken into at Barnet Hospital in Wellhouse Lane.
"An ATM was tampered with; we await confirmation of cash or any other property stolen during the burglary. NorthWest BCU investigating."
Scotland Yard was unable to provide further comment.
